After a few years, he transferred to the 1457th Combat Engineer Battalion in Murray Utah. He served the remainder of his career in that unit as a combat engineer. During Operation Desert Storm, his engineer battalion was activated to provide combat engineer support to the Army Combat Training Centers in Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels, Germany , from February through May 1991. He retired as a Staff Sergeant on November 1, 1993.
Don worked at many different jobs including being a security guard, a boot buyer for a clothing store and he worked at American Potato Corp. in Blackfoot for many years in research and development.
After living in the Salt Lake City area for many years, he moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming and married Carol Dunaway on November 24, 2012.
